HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
#3256
STG,
You are providing a great service. I am looking to sell my 05 Carrera and to buy the newest 991 within my budget. Looking for a base model with manual transmission. To keep my purchase in the "$ 60's", what year should I target in your opinion- 2014 ?
Looking at random dealer websites- Beachwood Porsche in Ohio has a bunch of 2014 certifieds. Anybody know that dealership ?

No... you don't need help. They just need a good spanking. Like a *really* good spanking!

These guys are on my shi*t list. First they have the SUV I was looking at, then mysteriously it was sold the night before. I feel your pain guys. I'm in the trenches too

Called two other dealers this week about cars that were "just sold yesterday". I really hate this game.....

I'm with you. My story today: "it wasn't marked as sold in the system" Still on the website too. I even offered full asking.
So many stories of sales guys taking forever to get back to potential buyers and playing games. Cars sitting on the lot forever and they're in no hurry to pursue a sale. Quite bizarre.
Oh, then the "no counter offer" game I hear from guys too. If the dealer doesn't like the offer, they don't even bother responding or countering.
Anyway, talk later guys.

Not all east coast places are bad. But the state of SA's now a days are pretty poor and most do not last long at dealerships due to low pay.
My SA at the BMW dealershp has been there 30 years and Ive been dealing with the same person for that entire time.
Like anything else some good and some really bad but most do not know how to sell and if they were more proactive they would make more.
Good luck

Had a similar situation with a NJ Porsche dealer about a month ago on a VERY low mileage 991. Was advised that car was no longer available. Car is still on website. I think dealers use the ads to generate inquiries hopefully leading to sales of other cars. Needless to say that dealer is no longer on my list. Maybe they all went to sales school together?

Anyway, time to move on. Discussing a losing battle here. Part of the pre-owned chase. Have to take the good with the bad.

They move a lot of cars - I wouldn't expect a screaming deal but I think Brad is a straight shooter. I followed him there from Stoddard and I have found him fair to deal with. The car in my avatar was their penultimate GTS order last year.

I think I found a candidate worthy of this thread. No affiliation at all with car or seller, just passing it along. I've noticed he has dropped the price twice so he may be ready to deal, but $66K for a 991.1S with some nice options already feels like a great deal to me. If it were Guards Red, it would be mine.

No BS. I read a business article his companies are approaching $1B in sales and he still gives out his personal cell # to nobodies like me.
Not to tie up your terrific thread, but you did ask

Better than dealing with the "wanna be Sopranos" I've had to deal with today from Jersey.

OUCH
Anyone been to this new Penske dealer? Heard its supposed to be HUGE. Looking to be the number one sales volume dealer in the US I believe. I think Champion is #1 now?
A lot of their used inventory (not this CC) looks like it came from PCNA auction cars. Many that look like ones used at the Porsche driving school, etc.
